Vote Against GA resolution Removal Of Space Debris
Resolution Analysis
Overview:
This proposal seeks to further address the issue of space debris beyond the scope of GAR#349, "To Prevent Dangerous Debris". It sets out to do this by establishing a subcommittee of the WA Scientific Programme known as the Debris In Space Committee (DISC), which is tasked with identifying and aiding in the development of technologies and techniques to mitigate and eliminate space debris. DISC is further tasked with directing member states that have developed suitable means of combating space debris to employ said techniques in a manner that would minimize collateral damage. It enables the use of the WA General Fund to incentivize the creation and handing over of methods and techniques of space debris mitigation. Lastly, it bars member states from interfering with space debris mitigation efforts, and empowers member nations to penalize any entity within its jurisdiction that does so.
Recommendation:
The Ministry of World Assembly Affairs, having reviewed the text of this proposal, finds its goals admirable. However, the proposal seems to fail to take into account a nation's culpability in the clean-up efforts, instead requiring nations to deploy such technology purely based on the nation's ability. Furthermore, the proposal fails to recognise the culpability of non-WA member states, instead forcing all member states to play the role of cleaning up after the mess made by all nations of the multiverse, with the use of the WA General Fund which is contributed to solely by member states.
For these reasons, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote AGAINST this proposal.
This IFV Recommendation was written in collaboration with our World Assembly Legislative League partners.
